Dr. Moynahan appears briefly as an elderly man with gray stubble on his chin. The book offers no further account of his history or relationships, leaving his character defined by that single, worn-in image. He remains a minor figure at the margins of the larger story.
Description
Dr. Moynahan is elderly, with gray stubble roughening his chin. The text gives no further detail about his hair, eyes, build, facial shape, or clothing. His limited description suggests a weathered, unadorned presence, without establishing any other distinguishing features.
